TRAI (along with Department of Telecommunications, DoT) is rolling out CNAP — a system where the name displayed on incoming calls will come from the official KYC-registered name of the caller, as per the name used when obtaining the SIM.

The aim is that, rather than relying on crowd-sourced databases (as Truecaller does), your call screen will automatically show the “real name” of the person calling you — no app, no database of public numbers needed.

According to recent reports, CNAP is likely to be enabled by default (at least on 4G/5G) for recipients, though there may be an opt-out option.

Because of this, third-party caller-ID/spam apps like Truecaller appear to be “less essential” for simple identification of callers.

Ditwah leaves devastated: 193 , 228 in widespread floods*

Colombo [Sri Lanka], November 30: Devastating floods have torn through parts of Colombo as Sri Lanka struggles with the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah, with the death toll rising to 193 and another 228 people still missing, Al Jazeera reported, citing the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) statement.

The cyclone's relentless weeklong rains triggered widespread floods and mudslides across the island. Only now--after rescue teams cleared blocked roads--is the true scale of destruction in the central region coming into focus.

"Although the cyclone has left us, heavy rains upstream are now flooding low-lying areas along the banks of the Kelani River," a DMC official said, as northern parts of the capital faced rising floodwaters.

In Manampitiya, about 250km (155 miles) northeast of Colombo, receding waters revealed catastrophic damage. "Manampitiya is a flood-prone town, but I have never seen such a volume of water," said 72-year-old resident S Sivanandan, describing ruined homes, businesses and roads, as per Al Jazeera.

The disaster has also created a medical emergency. Blood supplies have plunged to dangerous levels, with blood bank chief Lakshman Edirisinghe reporting just 236 units collected on Saturday--far short of the daily need of 1,500.

"Because of floods and heavy rains, we were unable to conduct our mobile campaigns to collect blood," he said, urging people to donate at hospitals and blood banks, according to Al Jazeera.

Authorities are also warning that saturated mountain slopes could trigger new landslides in the days ahead.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake declared a state of emergency on Saturday and appealed for international help. India was first to respond, sending relief supplies and rescue helicopters, while Japan have also pledged assistance.

The cyclone has destroyed more than 25,000 homes, forcing 147,000 people into temporary shelters, with another 968,000 requiring assistance after being displaced. Military personnel are working alongside civilian responders in the huge relief effort.

This marks Sri Lanka's deadliest natural disaster since 2017, when floods and landslides killed more than 200 people. The country's worst flooding this century occurred in June 2003, killing 254 people.–(ANI)

Rajouri, services in Poonch citing potential misuse*

Jammu, Nov 30: The authorities in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch on Sunday ordered suspension of all virtual private network services in the border district for two months, citing their potential misuse for unlawful activities.

Poonch became the second border district in the Jammu region after Rajouri, where virtual private network (VPN) services have been suspended in the past two days.

Poonch District Magistrate Ashok Kumar Sharma ordered the suspension of VPNs under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) with immediate effect.

"The SSP informed that there has been an unprecedented high usage of VPNs in the past few days at different locations of the district by suspicious internet users," Sharma said in the order.

It was also informed that VPN transmit gets encrypted and creates a point-to-point tunnel, masks IP addresses, and sidesteps website blocks and firewalls on the internet, thus making sensitive data vulnerable to cyber attacks, the order said.

"Adversaries can use VPN service to create an atmosphere of fear in view of the prevailing situation," Sharma said.

The order shall apply to all individuals, institutions, cyber cafes and internet service providers operating in the district, and anyone found violating it shall be punishable under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), he said.

The district magistrate has directed the SSP to ensure implementation of the order in letter and spirit.–(PTI)
